Hello,
I've recently been experiencing random lock-ups and "half-freezes" like the task bar and some windows/applications freezing, but sometimes still being able to move the mouse and select files on the desktop. At first I thought it was software related, so I reformatted and installed Windows 7 again, but the problem persists.
In my troubleshooting I've come across this SMART report from Speccy, and noticed one of my HDDs has a warning status, but the only value that is significantly different between the two is the High Fly Writes,
My question is if the High Fly Writes is the reason for the Warning status, and if this could possibly be the cause for my lock-up problem?
Both drives are Seagate ST31500341AS, 5 years old.

Thanks for reading,
